Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Hodgkin's lymphoma is cancer that begins in the lymph system in white blood cells called lymphocytes. When these cells become abnormal, they grow without control and may form lumps of tissue called tumors.

The cancerous tumors (lymphomas) in Hodgkin's lymphoma contain cells called Reed-Sternberg cells. All lymphomas that don't have Reed-Sternberg cells are called non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
